3. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 3 ripe mashed bananas (about 1 ½ cups), ½ cup buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts.
7. Fill the muffin cups about ¾ full.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
